Music

At St Denys Infant School we believe that music is an important part of a child’s creative life that provides children with an alternative way to respond to feelings and the world. It is taught throughout the school both as a discreet weekly subject linked to topic plans and cross curricular. As music is a performing art, opportunities occur throughout the school year for both pupils and staff. Extra curricular activities include the school choir who perform to the school and audiences, and a Year 2 keyboard club. Children have opportunities to perform in the Christmas plays, at St Denys Church and this year we started an inter class singing competition.
